Martin MAC Aura XIP in dual SiP vs Martin MAC Aura XIP white in Cardboard
The Martin MAC Aura XIP in dual SiP prioritizes dual-engine beam and wash separation with a more compact footprint and IP54 rating, while the MAC Aura XIP white in Cardboard emphasizes unified RGBW output with higher lumen count, 12 backlight filaments for pixel effects, and superior IP66 weatherproofing. Choose the dual SiP for touring rigs requiring separate beam and color control in tight spaces; choose the white in Cardboard for festivals and outdoor venues needing raw output power and dynamic backlight effects.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Why choose Martin MAC Aura XIP in dual SiP
- ✓ Dual-engine design separates potent beam output (296.5 W) from Aura color mixing for independent control
- ✓ More compact footprint at 338 mm wide x 380 mm tall, easier to rig in space-constrained rigs
- ✓ Integrated dual power engines optimize efficiency for touring and permanent installations
Why choose Martin MAC Aura XIP white in Cardboard
- ✓ Higher absolute output at 6,000 lumens with 21.3 lm/W efficacy for bright venues and outdoor ambient light
- ✓ 12 RGBW filaments in Aura backlight enable pixel-mapping and dynamic chasing effects
- ✓ Superior IP66 weatherproofing versus IP54 for direct exposure and moisture-heavy environments
Frequently asked questions
What's the key difference in LED architecture between these two fixtures?
The dual SiP features separate beam LEDs (7 x 60W RGBW for 296.5 W beam power) and a dedicated Aura color engine (35.1 W), enabling independent beam and wash control. The white in Cardboard integrates all light output into one 7 x 60W RGBW array producing 6,000 lumens total, plus 12 backlight filaments for pixel effects.
Which is better for outdoor festivals and weather exposure?
The white in Cardboard offers IP66 rating, designed for direct moisture and outdoor elements. The dual SiP carries IP54 weatherproofing, suitable for touring and covered outdoor rigs but not constant rain or spray exposure.
Do both fixtures support pixel-mapping and chase effects?
The white in Cardboard explicitly features 12 RGBW filaments for dynamic pixel-mapping and chase effects. The dual SiP does not mention backlight filaments or pixel capabilities in its description, suggesting it is optimized for traditional wash and beam separation.
Which is more portable and space-efficient?
The dual SiP is specifically noted for its compact 338 mm x 380 mm footprint, designed to fit tight touring rigs. While both weigh the same operational class, the dual SiP prioritizes rigging efficiency in space-constrained setups.
